Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, and baking powder. Mix until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, honey, apple cider vinegar, and coconut milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms.
Dust a surface with a little extra tapioca starch and transfer the dough. Knead lightly until it becomes smooth.
Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope of about 8 inches long.
Tie each rope into a knot and place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a simmer, then add baking soda. Be cautious as it may bubble up.
Carefully dip each pretzel knot into the baking soda solution for about 10 seconds and return them to the baking sheet.
Whisk the egg yolk with a splash of water and brush over each pretzel knot.
Sprinkle each knot with kosher salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
